Lot's Wife Edition 1 2017

Hello Lot’s Wife readers! And a special hello to all the bright-eyed first years who may
be reading this for the first time, and have no idea what they have gotten themselves into
for the following years. It has been a whirlwind past few months: with all four of us doing
some form of summer school, trying to put together a magazine for the first time, and
recovering from the fact that Hillary Clinton did not win the election as she may have did
in our dreams (Jill Stein 2020 though, am I right?). At least we’ve still got Bernie fighting
the good fight.
The first few weeks of the year are always daunting – trying to find your new classrooms,
wondering if you regret taking that complicated Japanese unit that you thought was a great
idea in January, and resisting the urge to feel completely overwhelmed and settle for a job
selling healing crystals instead. And while America may not be looking that great again,
there’s a protest coming up in the city to make education free again. If the HECS debt
happens to be getting you down, join the National Union of Students on March 22 in the
National Day of Action and show Turnbull what’s up.
Life’s not all that bleak though – Lot’s Wife is finally back and we have articles on Trump,
climate change, study tips, and new comedy section that may or may not be funny, but hey,
we tried. So sit back, enjoy the words and illustrations, and tell your friends how much you
love the first edition of Lot’s Wife for 2017.
But, before you sit back too far that you fall off your chair, we encourage anyone who
has something interesting to say to pitch and submit their work for future editions. This
can be done by getting into contact with us at msa-lotswife@monash.edu or by liking our
Facebook page and joining our Facebook group Lot’s Wife General Contributors 2017.
